How To Separate Yourself As A Hooper

If you actually want to separate yourself from the millions of other kids who play the game of basketball, then start learning the terminology and the language of the game. Do you know the different types of screens? A pin down screen, a flare screen, a ghost screen. Do you know the different types of cuts? A Laker cut, a 45 cut, an Iverson cut. Do you know the different pick and roll coverages? Drop, blitz, hard hedge, soft hedge. These are the terms you want to start becoming familiar with. And if you don't know where to get this information from, go to YouTube, go to Chat GPT. But you need to start educating yourself because as you go up in levels, coaches are just gonna expect for you to know this stuff. Treat your brain just like you would your jump shot or your handle. You have to train it, you have to work on it, and it starts with you learning this information, learning the terms, learning the language of the game and becoming a smarter and more educated basketball player.
